Birmingham and Sunderland promoted

Derby County's defeat at Crystal Palace on Sunday afternoon mean they cannot catch the top two teams in the Championship.

Another team whose exit from the Championship was confirmed this weekend was Southend, who return to League One following relegation.

And Leeds United look certain to follow them. Their 1-1 draw with Ipswich on Saturday, coupled with Hull's win at Cardiff, leaves them three points from safety with just a game to go. It would take a minor miracle for Dennis Wise's side to survive.
